I think that this is where I am going to stop for now. It took a hell of a lot longer to blog videos like this, so I’ll finish the episode later.

So I decided to love Zim, this alien bug person. I want to say child….but I seriously don’t have ANY idea how old he is. He can be 26 for all I know. But he is childish, demanding, dedicated to his cause, doesn’t register any hints of anger or annoyance or japes aimed his way, and so assured of his success that he wants a chance to try. He is just so fucking entertaining.

Same with the rest of the show. While I don’t think I actually busted out laughing, there were so many good jokes that sucker punched me it was like learning how a heart-attack feels. “You quit being banished” still fucking kills me. The Tallest are such assholes, but they do it in this, weird smarmy way that there is nothing unpleasent about it. Like, they are terrible people, but they own it so hard that it sells the comedy.

Our Earth family looks entertaining as well. Dib was the kid’s name I was trying to remember (got close with the D part). And he looks like the lone hero, brooding in the night, ready to do what he can to prevent the alien attack and save the world. Then falls into sink of water. The dad looks pleasent and fun to watch, and the sister is so tired of everything in their household. I am going to enjoy that family dynamic well as well.

I really did wish I saw this when I was a kid. This falls right in line with all the other shows I loved like Grim Adventures and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Well, at least I am watching it now!

Me: “I am sorry for your lost Zim”

You: “What did he lose?”

Gir: “doom doom doom doom do doom do do doom doom do do doom do doom”

Me: “His Sanity”

Gir sing the Doom Song = Nappa asking “are we there yet?”

Well, Zim is enthusiastic about his job, I can give him that.

So here we have, Gir. He is going to be a lot more annoying than Zim, I can already tell.

Yall they were snickering about the robot being “advance” but then it actually came to life so these guys are actually good about making robots on the fly, they just don’t give a shit.

They just built a random piece of shit robot out of junk to Zim, is Zim the only one that these two hate or what?

Standard-Issue Information Retrieval Unit. It should have been Siru, it could have been ahead of it’s time making Siri jokes before Siri existed.

When god created you he just dumped an entire vat of drama into you didn’t he?

You guys are what, 8? 10? Why are you both so dramatic, it has only been a few seconds.

WAIT!

Oh my god I can’t believe it. I actually DO know Zim! It only Just appeared in my mind.

I never actually watched an episode, but you know how sometimes they used to play clips during commercials inbetween shows? Well during the holidays around Christmas, I remember watching a clip where I think Zim won?? Or at least was succeeding. He was dressed as santa, people thought he was santa, he was going “ho ho ho” as people were cheering. And there was dramatic music playing

“BOW DOWN

BOW DOWN

BEFORE THE POWER OF SANTA

OR BE CRUSHED

BE CRUSHED

BY~

HIS JOLLY LITTLE SHOE!”

I have no idea if this was just the clip for christmas, or if there was a christmas special, or what, but that is something I remembered.

Dib just tattled on the aliens to his dad while he made toast with lightning. I am going to love them both dearly.

I’m sorry but what is this family? Dramatic Goth Sister, Brooding Neo child, and now a scientist?? Is this Addams Family 2.0 or??

Smooth Dib. Real Smooth. (his face matches his shirt)

Cool Sister, but why does that missing poster on the milk say “meat” under the name?

Holy shit I was joking when I called you Neo, why do you have to be jumping off of roofs!?

Yo we just had a cool ass zoom in to this Tim Burton’s Neo Child. This show is so creative with their scene shifts.

New Headcanon: These two are trying to passive aggressively kill each other to be the sole Tallest.

They just sent him on a wild goose-chase to a “secret planet” where no one has heard of it and no one knows it’s name, but he just looks so fucking determined to prove himself.

I’m keeping him. I don’t care what he does in the future, I’m keeping him.
